blade 400 with sonic 3500kv motor and stock esc

iv installed a sonix 3500kv motor to my blade 400 with stock esc
turns out motor was much stronger than stock. and was a nice upgrade. needs minor motor shaft mod to get the pinion up more on the shaft to clear main gear. also a lil mod to fram to slide the motor mount forward a lil more
ran with a 13T pinion motor can be found a HTTP://WWW.CNCHELI.COM

hi i just bought the sonix 3500 motor with a 11t and a 13t pinion after i blew a bearing in my stock eflit motor i am hoping ti keep the stock esc and still use the stock lipo in doing this can you tell me what is the best configuration for this setup like 11t or 13 t and any other setting i might have to change in the radio settings ?? thanks

the 11t will keep the head speed at about 2800 which is great. the 13T will give just over 3000 great for quick manuvers. i didnt get to test the stock esc with it as muchh as i would have liked. as far i can tell it preformed well. going with a lower T pinion may help keep the strain off the esc.

hi sokal i was jus wondering if you have dun that blade grip flip mod and if u r using it in this video . and if your not how r you back fliping your blade so fast . my blade flips so sloe theres so much time for error so i want to make it flip faster idid the swash mix thing . got c f blades and that motor. o and im talking abowt my stock blade 400 . i justgot new blade motor esc and i have outrage xp 25c 30c 35c all have the power i need . so what can i do to flip/role faster ?

[sokal11]

yes that is with the grip flip mod

be sure to shave the plastic ridge to get the cyclic rate up to 5.5 degrees max deflection.

my blade is all carbon fiber i have 13 flights on my blade with the sonix motor. was going up and down fast and i heard a sound . down went my blade i hit the throttle and got it down . i looked at it and i stripped 1/2 the main gear

what am i doing wrong my throttle cerv is at 80 head speed is not that fast

i have a 12 /12 pich do you think thats it

i have a 12 t on motor

[sokal11]

your pinion may be the wrong pitch or gear mesh may be loose/tight

thier should be a very small amount of play between the gears make sure motor is not sliding fwd on you.

12 deg of pitch is a lil much personally 11 is max for me 10 is perfect

Hey buddy would you mind telling me what mods you needed to do to the stock frame to get the Sonix motor to fit?

[symawd]

Does this motor have enough power for a 450 which is heavier than the Blade 400? I want my 450 to have tons of power, but don't want to splurge on an Align or Scorpion motor.

I like this video. great shooting.

@sokal11 hey sokal, when you say shave the plastic ridge are you talking about the ridge on the bottom (when flipped) of the blade grip that hits the flybar cage pushrod?

[colk25446]

hey thanks for all the help i managed to pull the motor swap off ok with all your help from the video's you have up and some of the other heli freak guys. This r/c heli thing i got myself into its fun but crap won't stop breaking. i find your videos very informative its great to learn from someone who speaks from a aviation background it works for me because i am a private pilot with some hours in r22 and your ways of explaining is familiar to me thanks
